12/24/2005 - 5/11/2020When I rescued Babie J in 2014 it turned out that she rescued me. She was my constant companion. I am retired and was able to be with her 24/7 and where I went she went. She was true angel, she gave me an unconditional love I never had in my whole life. I spoiled her rotten and she deserved it. I am so lost without her and she will remain in my heart forever. I love you and miss you my sweet girl. Thank you God for giving her to me.Linda EngbergElkton, FloridaMay 25, 2020

My Husband died in 2013 and I was struggling to cope. One Sunday in church, the Pastor was telling us about God's creatures that had been given to us. When I left church I went straight to S.A.F.E Rescue and she was the first dog I saw. This little dog just looked at me and it was love at first sight. She saved my life. Her name was Babie and I just added a J for my husband's name Julian.

"Dr. Kali, is truly one of God's Angels. From our first meeting 7 months ago she was always there for me. My Sweet Babie J left this world to cross over the Rainbow Bridge peacefully and with dignity. Lap of Love truly care about our fur babies. Without Dr. Kali I would have been lost. God Bless Her."

1/28/2012 - 4/27/2020Lola was a special girl. She loved us unconditionally, but wanted strangers to stay away. Not aggressive, just let you know that you were not welcome in her bubble. Most of her life was spent with 3 sisters. Jojo, Storm and Alley. The four of them were tight and all new how to get what they wanted from mom and dad. Lola watched CBS Sunday Morning with us each week and love the "Moment of Nature" short segment at the end. She also loved NASCAR, LUGE, BOBSLED or really anything that moved quickly off the side of the screen. Lola enjoyed the Ocean, Camping, Going for rides in the Truck or just hanging out in teh front yard. She was Awesome. We will miss our Lola. She is survived by her sisters Alley, Marley, Jaxson her recently adopted brother George (she wasn't a huge fan, but we won't tell George) and two loving humans that had the pleasure of taking care of her for a short lifetime 8 or so years. She gave us far more than we could ever give her and we gave her a lot! Miss this girl always.Robert MayvilleSaint Augustine, FloridaApril 28, 2020

"Dr. Kali was great. What a tough job she has, but how very glad she does it. Couldn't have been more compassionate and caring. Thank you Dr. Kali."

12/25/2003 - 4/23/2020Thank you Maverick for giving me the best life and pet owner could have. !!! Unconditional love is the best therapy ever!!Harry BeemanJacksonville, FloridaApril 24, 2020

My favorite movie growing up was Top Gun and Maverick was the call sign for Tom Cruise in the movie ! Maverick was the runt if the litter and was not completely standard to his breed because he only had one black eye patch. I got him for myself on Valentine’s Day after a horrible break up and he always loved me during those trying times. .I was fortunate enough to bring him to work everyday and he became to work mascot. He was playful , loving and never met a stranger. He could jump higher than any other dog and always wanted to be in anyone’s lap kisses them. 6 years ago , maverick accepted my new partner in life as one of the pack , Josh and I are so thankful that Maverick’s crossing was beautiful !!

"This was the best experience for helping our baby pass over to rainbow 🌈 bridge. Dr Kali , was so sweet and caring and never made us feel like this wasn’t our time. She made sure everything was discussed and was loving and caring to Mavericks needs!!! Thank you so much !!!"

8/27/2004 - 3/23/2020In Memory of Lou Jack, my tiny universe, my little love, my baby bug, my buggy. Our entire lives revolved around him, especially the last few years. He had a very bad heart murmur, stage 2 kidney disease, a bad gallbladder and Cushings diease by the time everything was said and done. He fought so hard. He was hospitalized back in October/November. Thats when we discovered the kidney disease, cushings and gallbladder issues. He stayed for 6 days, over $6,000 in bills. People thought we were nuts, he was 15. But to us, he was worth everything. He came home and was on the right track to being normal again with a slew of new meds added to his heart meds. We had a lovely Thanksgiving and Christmas with him. He loved to open his own presents. Then in February I got married and both my pups were in it. I am so happy he was there. Then a few weeks later, he started to decline again. Took him back to his specialist and went home with some new meds. So with getting up every 2 hours every night for the past 5 years, we were also giving meds at 3 am, 5 am, 11 am, 5 pm and 7 pm, so you can see where it was all about my sweet boy. He never really got better after that. We had a check up and the doctor confirmed that the kidneys were declining again. He wanted to hospitalize him and we refused. Quality over quantity at this point. So with lots of tears and a discussion between me, my husband and my mom we decided to call Laps of Love. I wanted him to be as comfortable as possible and in my arms. Dr. Kali was so nice and gentle. He went peacefully and I miss him so much. It feels so empty here.Kaley MullenFLEMING ISLAND, FloridaMarch 27, 2020

I got Lou from a farm in Leon County, Tallahassee, Florida on November 7, 2004. I was 11 and he was an early Christmas present. I got his first name from that Cat VS Dog movie, the beagles name wad Lou. My sister asked me to name him Jack Daniels and I chose to make Jack his middle name. Over the years it kind of became a joke to keep adding to his name. So his full name is actually King Louis Jack Michael Alfred George Henry Peterson David Arthur Copernicus Leon Tallahassee Hampton Mullen. He was literally the most handsome Jack Russell I ever saw, I'm not saying that just because I'm his mom. And he had the biggest personality. He should have been in movies. The expressions that dog had killed us. He would also argue, kind of like a Husky. He argued with my dad the most, it was the cutest thing. He loved to hunt those huge Georgia grasshoppers known as Georgia Thumpers. He hated it when people would go in the pool, thinking he needed to save us. He also was a Serial Flip Flop Killer. But most of all he used to be so cuddley. He would sleep in the crook of my arm or legs. He wanted to be held or be under the covers. He was a King and he demanded his comforts. His favorite toy was Lambchop, any size would do. He loved to play ball and he used to bunny hop in yard. It always cracked us up. He LOVED Christmas. He would lay under the tree, on top of presents and sleep. Then on Christmas day he would demolish all the wrapping paper in a frenzy. He would even open ours. He loved it so much we would wrap his birthday presents. He also loved to just lay in the sun and roll in the grass. I could go on for hours.

"Dr. Kali was so loving, compassionate and gentle with my boy. She made the experience and decision easier. It meant so much to us that we could do it at home where he felt safe and comfortable rather than at the vet where he got stressed. Thank you again, Dr. Kali."

6/6/2006 - 3/17/2020Today is only 1 week since I lost my baby girl Sammy. I am still crying and not sleeping. I feel so lost without her by my side where she always sat. I know she was suffering but I wasn't ready to let her go. Sammy is in no pain now I just couldn't watch her suffer anymore. I will miss my baby girl until we meet again.

Love you so much Sammy Always in my heart and mindDiana HammonsJacksonville, FloridaMarch 24, 2020

My ex-boyfriend got Sammy at 6 weeks old. I however kept her when he left. He couldn't take care of her he was an alcoholic and left her alone most of the time. I was not going to let her be treated like that so I took over.
Sammy loved to go for walks, she was ready anytime for a ride in the car. Every time I left she was at the door with one of her stuff animals. When I couldn't take her for a ride I would not take my robe off so she wouldn't know I left.
I did keep one of her stuffed animals a pink unicorn and that gives me some comfort at night. She loved her stuffed animals and never tore them apart , they all looked like new.

"Kali was very compassionate and kind Vet. She explained the process to us and checked Sammy out. Kali did not rush us let us take as much time as we needed to say goodbye. I know it was the best way for Sammy to go. (will always miss her) Sammy was out of pain but my pain began. Thanks so much for Kali and Lap of Love"

Harley was my firstborn. She traveled everywhere with me and always rode shotgun. When I had my son, she treated him like her baby. She growled if anyone aside from mama tried to pick up our baby. She was a member of our family and her loss is deeply felt. It will definitely take time after 17years to not constantly think of her or look for her. Mornings are toughest because that was our time together before everyone else got up. I will never forget her. I know she is up in heaven with my mama eating roast beef and running with her doxie cousins.

"Dr Kali was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a more loving and comfortable experience with a situation that was devastating for me. She exudes love and compassion for the animals and the human families. I am so grateful that she was doctor put in my life that day."

2/14/2011 - 3/6/2020Calvin was my best friend. I adopted him when he was not quite a year old. He had been up for adoption for months. He was banged up , notched and the most perfect demeanor. His name was Calvin and I didn't want to change that. He was so zen. He loved having his own home. He helped raise another kitten stray named sweet pea. She misses him terribly.Patsy RankinSt. Augustine, FloridaMarch 8, 2020

"Dr. Kali was so kind. Not only explained everything but helped assist with my other cat sweet pea including her on the saying of good by to Calvin."

6/18/1999 - 2/14/2020My Little Boy Kitty is gone and I don't know if the tears will ever stop.You were a part of my life for almost 22 years. The sweetest most beautiful kitty who purred right up until the end. I know you were telling me thank you for a happy life and for being a part of our family. We will miss you and your funny meows, and crazy sleeping positions everyday.Thank you for so many years of pure ,sweet love. Rest in Peace LBK.Momma, Winston and MildredJoan DickinsonJacksonville Beach, FloridaFebruary 15, 2020

Little Boy Kitty, aka LBK, aka Champ was with us from day one from a litter of kittens we had. We chose him from 5 other kittens and he being a boy was nick named the little boy kitty and it just stuck! The neighbor children wanted him and named him Champ, but lucky for us the parents would not allow a kitten. LBK loved to sit on your chest and he had the loudest purr box you've ever heard. He loved having Winston lick his face and ears like a momma cat would. He had extraordinarily loud meows and they often sounded like he was saying hello! Little Boy had the most beautiful big green eyes. Once, he got lost or trapped (only he knows the story) and was gone for a month. I thought I wouldn't see him again but one night I came home and there were those big green eyes looking in the back door. He was emaciated, thirsty, and close to death. I brought him in and he never had much desire to go back out again and I never let him. From then on he was an inside kitty and he became even more bonded to me and the pups.

"Thank you Dr. Kali for your tender love and compassion for my Little Boy Kitty and for me. You were wonderful and my sweet boy didn't suffer. I am so glad I had the option to help him pass comfortably and peacefully at home. You are an angel with a very difficult job. I have LBK's paw print next to my bed so I can hear him purr every night.I will forever be grateful for you and for Lap of Love.Sincerely,Joan"

8/25/2020 - 2/6/2020Jaeger was my best friend. He was smart, lovable and friendly and was the most dedicated dog I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was my buddy and I will miss him every day. I never imagined it would be this hard to say goodbye. Jaeger, you will be missed and thank you for just being you and making my life wholeMark HarringtonJacksonville, FloridaFebruary 14, 2020

When I went to get a puppy, I had picked one out and had it in my arms. Then Jaeger walks up to me and rolls over on his back. My heart melted and my mind was changed instantly.

I name my dogs after alcohol brands/names because they have such cool names. I always try and spell it differently. I have had a Chevas, Sambuka, Asti, Bristol, and Kalua.

Jaeger's favorite things were his stuffed animals. I felt I had a two-year-old constantly picking up his toys. He would walk around with them and even bring them to bed to sleep with.

"I want to thank Kali for helping me that day. She obviously understands the love and hurt people experience from the loss of a furry family member. She was very patient, kind, understanding and empathetic. Thank you Kali"
